Feiying fell into deep thought after hearing Lin Qing's description.
If it's truly as he said, then the previous attitude of the Immortal Sect's genius Cen Lizhui towards Chen Muxue is explained.
"You don't need to interfere at this moment, I'm afraid the Qian Ding Sect is under the protection of the Immortal Sect," Feiying instructed, "But this matter must be reported to the Sect Leader, you should return to the Liuyun Sect."
Lin Qing was taken aback: "But Master, the disciple has not yet found the Life Fruit..."
Feiying waved his hand: "The matter of the Life Fruit is not urgent, it cannot be forced. You should return!"
"Then what about you, Master?"
Feiying put on a serious expression: "The Sect Leader of Qian Ding Sect has such Divine Skill, he cannot be underestimated. I will stay here and observe."
"Yes, Master." Lin Qing bowed respectfully and turned to leave.
Feiying brushed his hair aside, regardless of whether Chen Muxue has Divine Skill, her culinary skills are certainly evident. I wonder if she'll put up a stall again. I must taste it at least once so as not to disappoint myself, right?
Chen Muxue was completely unaware of someone peeping on her roof, after all, they were some quirky individuals with cultivation levels much higher than hers.
Last night, Little Tiger reminded her that the hilltop needed some tending. Thankfully, the original owner had planted seeds before being transported back, otherwise, wouldn't she have been completely clueless?
However, after several confrontations, Chen Muxue acquired over 140 taels of silver, thus she decided not to plant those ordinary crops anymore.
Originally, the owner planted these crops mainly for the children to eat, and secondly to make some money. Cultivators do not need to pay taxes, so they can earn several taels a year.
Chen Muxue arrived at the terraced fields on the hillside and fell silent as she looked at the half-dead rice in these fields.
A faint Spiritual Energy flowed slightly within the fields, but whether it was Chen Muxue's illusion or not, the land gave a feeling of being half-dead and on its last legs.
Last night, Dafu just awakened his Spirit Root. Chen Muxue similarly directed him to the study room to handle it himself, but with Little Tiger's guidance, he was handed the basic cultivation method from Qian Ding Sect, so Dafu wouldn't be completely in the dark.
Dafu awakened with an Earth Spirit Root, and when he saw this terraced field, he was slightly surprised: "It seems that I can hear these fields groaning!"
Chen Muxue crouched down and directly dug out some dirt from the fields with her hand: "This seems to be Spiritual Fields?"
In the shadows, Feiying couldn't help but shake his head. Back in the days, Qian Ding Sect was one of the top suppliers of elixirs among the sects, although every sect would cultivate some alchemists themselves, they were basically not as good at alchemy as the sect specialized in refining alchemy medicine.
An alchemy-focused sect like that would naturally have its own Spiritual Fields, though it's unexpected that Chen Muxue, as the Sect Leader, didn't know she was planting in Spiritual Fields.
Perhaps it was because the previous Sect Leader left suddenly, and Chen Muxue, being the cherished daughter born late in his life, wasn't intended to take over these troublesome matters so early...
Facing this large expanse of Spiritual Fields, Feiying recalled the time he came to the Qian Ding Sect seeking medicine, where he had seen it too.
But back then, the Spiritual Fields across the hillside were dazzling, planted with various miraculous herbs, and Qian Ding Sect completely resembled a paradise hidden from the world...
While the fields in front appeared half-dead, with the rice wilted and yellowing, giving off a somewhat desolate feeling.
Suddenly, Little Flower sprang out from the forest beside: "Sect Leader, look, I found those wild vegetables from last time again!"
Chen Muxue thought it was the miraculous wild vegetable used last time to cook sour and spicy noodles, but upon seeing it, found that it was the inedible wild grass that was in Little Flower's back basket when she first arrived.
Chen Muxue chuckled to herself and shook her head, patting Little Flower's head: "Little Flower, dear, these are grass, you cannot eat them."
Feiying also saw the grass Little Flower had picked, but his pupils suddenly contracted!
